The Story of Plastic
The Dallas Sierra Club and Meaningful Movies Project proudly presents an exclusive, free screening of the thought-provoking documentary, The Story of Plastic, by Deia Schlosberg and produced by Elisa Ringholm. The screening will be held at the historic Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff. Please mark your calendars and reserve your free tickets for Monday, March 31st, at 7:00 pm CT as we embark on a journey towards positive societal change. This screening is not just a film—it’s a call to action.
The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing, Emmy-winning film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
There will be a live Q&A following the screening with the film's producer Elisa Ringholm.

The Dallas Sierra Club Needs Volunteers!
Without active volunteers, the Dallas Sierra Club will cease to exist. Because of this, your help is imperative to our survival. While the Sierra Club does have paid employees at the State and National level, the bulk of the work in each state is done by local groups which are entirely volunteer-led. The Dallas group has had a huge advocacy presence in North Texas since the 1970’s, and we’ve been working diligently to better the environment by engaging residents to participate and utilize the strengths they already possess to create positive environmental change. It may be surprising, but much of the work our volunteers do can be done from home with only occasional in-person meetings or events needed. For those volunteers with young families, full-time jobs, or health issues, this can be an ideal opportunity to help without often leaving the comfort of home. Please consider helping us continue the Dallas Sierra Club’s tried and true tradition of 50+ years as an entirely volunteer-led group. Your help can make all the difference. To volunteer, please contact Victoria Howard, Chair of the Dallas Sierra Club at victoria@dallassierraclub.org.
